Hi guys, I have downloaded Gilligans Island font and wan to use it commercially. It's listed as shareware, so I understand I have to pay to use it for my business logo - BUT WHERE AND HOW??

I'd appreciate some advice, thanks!

The web link of the author Mark Riddle is out ( http://airopia.org/decorative/free-gilligans-island-truetype-font ).
It will be hard to find him.

Read Me Little Buddy!

Gilligan's Island is a font based on the show of the same name (of course).
IT was created from scratch by recreating the letters of the opening credits
and the main title logo. This font is also perfect for giving your documents
that tropical, fun and informatl look. It is best at larger point sizes.

Gilligan's Island Font is a complete font with full punctuation, specialty
characters and numbers. In addition there is a small treat for all you
castaways, the cartoon characters are alos included in this font! The
castaways reside in the extended key combonations.

Gilligan's Island is part of the 5 BUCK FONTS library. If you like it and
use it, you are required to send in your registration fee of $5 (thats a
steal for a font like this one). Commercial users are required to pay $10.
THis font is copurighted material and may not be modified in any way without
express written consent of the author. You may distribute this font freely
to others, but the "Read Me" file must accompany the font. I encourage
shareware font compilations but please ask permission for the use of this
font on ANY software compilation.

Thank you SO MUCH!! I was looking for the readme everywhere and couldn't find it. Would you suggest I contact him on the email directly?

That email is aol ... does aol still exist? Don't know, just give it a try.

Yep : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AOL

Ok guys thanks again, I emailed him, nothing yet. I guess I will have to just take a chance :-/

I suggest you take a chance on the snail mail address.

Hi, did anyone hear back from him? Ive been looking around and it seems there is no hope on getting a commercial license.

20 years old, for computer, it is prehistory.
The probability is low to have a reply from an author for a file so old.

so I guess its it best for me not use this for commercial purposes then. I guess if i sent payment to the address above (only $10) then record it somehow as proof?
